Date: 10 April 2009
Venue: Penang, Malaysia
Photo kaki: me and myself

累。。。不能用字体来描绘的一种体验。。白天的忙碌,换来的就是属于我自己的不见天日时刻。。。一个我不能对任何人妥协的时段。。一个OSC+MUSIC+LAPTOP=Quiet Time。。

LAPTOP 播着我从泰国 SUK11下载的JAZZ。。。是我在SUK11听到那播着的JAZZ。。还记得我借CD时那掌柜的脸部肌肉稍微抽搐。。哈~!不过她还是拿给我。。。节奏不太快也不太慢。。。最适合现在的心情。。也不晓得我从什么时候开始喜欢JAZZ。。。。。。。有关系吗??:)

星期一拿了一天假,加上星期五的受难节,我腾出了4 天,回槟城走一圈,见见那里熟悉的脸孔,看看曾经留下的脚印。。我只能说。。。槟城好美。。。

星期五是个下雨的早上。。在巴士里我縮成一个弯月形。。。很冷。。巴士带我到BM兜了一圈才去槟岛。。对BM不太熟悉。。。不过那椰树是那么的亲切。。好久没看到那么自然+不修边幅的椰树了。。。:)

上桥的那一刻,心情有点澎湃。。。别笑。。是真的。。:)还记得我离开槟城的时候我贴了一篇贴。。我说。。下次的拜访,我不再是住客。。我将会是一个旅客。。。当你用一个旅客的眼光来看同一事物时。。。一切都是那么的美好。。。天同样是蓝的,草同样是绿的。。不过你的心会不经意的加了一个“好”字。。。我说了。。。天好蓝哦。。草好绿哦~~~傻么??你将会和我一样傻。。。:)

人类都是如此。。。一切所以当然,你永远都不会觉得他的可爱。。。当需要努力才得以换取时。。。一切都是美好。。。住在槟城的。。槟威大桥漂亮吗??? :)

如果。。。如果有一天。。。你要用你的努力来换取氧气时。。。你将会说。。神啊~您所造的氧气是如此的甜美。。。。:)感恩啊~!!

这一趟没拍太多照片,时间多数花在见各式不同又熟悉的五官。。。感觉真好。。。谢谢你们。。。谢谢你们还记得曾经有过这么一个人出现在这么一个地方。。。谢谢你们为我的到来而安排。。。我欠了好多人情债。。。不过我欠得好甜~!!!

花絮:
USM是那么的漂亮。。。Pn. M 没老到~!!劲~!
旧屋友O的眼睛还是一样小。。。小的帅气。。哈哈~!!!身材壮了些。。看到健身房的效果了~!P 中DSLR毒了。。。
旧同事还是一样有活力。。。

Mount Faber Park + Henderson Waves

Venue: Mount Faber Park + Henderson Waves
Date: 04 April 2009
Photo Kaki: WK, Rachel, Joyce & me 

Was told Henderson Waves is a bridge that MUST VISIT before you leave Singapore. Fair enough, the design of IJP Corporation Ltd (UK) is sexy & elegant.... :) (RSP Architects is the local submission architect) 

Trip to Henderson Waves has been differed several times either due to my weekend trip or wk's heavy schedule on her works. This week, we went over there for a glimpse and unfortunately, from bright sunny day, it turned cloudy and yeah.. end up raining. 

According to N-park's FAG on the bridge, she is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore and would be lighted up from 7.00pm to 2.00am daily, Guess we missed that... :) No worry though as I would make sure I go back for the lighted up shot some other day... 

These days visited quite a lot of natures park in Singapore.. Really have to give credits to Singapore government for trying hard to keep their city green...

快乐可以很简单。。。

Venue: Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia
Date: 5 June 2008
Photo Kaki: Me and myself

今天拿了一天的病假,见了一位胡楂还多过我的瘌蹋医生,了解了自己犯了什么贱,吃了一个早+午餐,咖啡点老板娘绑着脸问说喝些什么。。。我说。。凉茶。。不~TEH 冰~!!还是逃不过咖啡因的诱惑~!

休息了会,下午决定整理+收拾+打扫我的房间。。。是的超乱的~!!!好热的下午。。那老爷风扇走走停停的。。不时发出吱吱声是有点烦人,不过我还是需要它。。。。现实的人类,只要你还有利用价值,你吵点,烦点我还是可以接受。。。因为我需要你。。如果到了那一天,你的价值不存在了。。。。。。。。走吧。。别等人说出口 :) 

整理好房间,(还是乱。。不过在我的概念上。。整理了就好。。。哈哈~!)煮了一个有菜有肉的晚餐奖励自己。。。到了新加坡除了看+学到人类的复杂,最有心得的就是煮炒越加熟练。。。

忙了一个下午,回到房间看了成年老照。一年前拍的照终于贴上来了。:)快乐。。。。简单吗?? 

人类真是复杂的构体。。。。不停的找,不停的追,不停的收,为的就是要更开心。。。越找越追越收, 人的快乐指数就越底。。。胡楂医生快了吗? 黑脸老板娘呢??有这些孩子们快乐吗?? LV 是舍? GUCCI? 哪怕他们连 BATA 都没听过。。。不过他们却是大赢家~!!

Pulau Ubin, Singapore

Venue: Pulau Ubin, Singapore 
Date: 21 March 2009
Cycling Kaki: Kay + MC, HT, BS, YN & Me...myself

The trip was planned by Kay for their (Kay + MC) Farewell Party.. How shameful we are to be their friends.. :| A good reason to make us not feeling too guilty is...we were all too busy with our works... hahaha~!! Okie, I don't feel as bad now~!

The day before the Ubin Trip, I checked Weather Forecast and was told that it is going to be heavy rain on the next day. Lucky us, that morning wasn't too bad for us, a bit cloudy (which is bad for me... ) and it is good weather for us to cycle around. 

Rented bicycle for S$8.00 which is different from what we read, S$2.00 per bicycle. Hm, wondering should we lodge a report to N-park for the raised up price? (Tiger Prawn issue has made Newton Hawker Center famous so this could be another incident that could save NST some time to source for headline for the rest of the week...yeah, Sg paper desperately need some headline....)

The ride was wonderful. It has been a while since the last time my feet step on the paddlers. Ride through shady path and wondering are we on the right track... seeing those people selling drinks along the way...picking up pedals from your hair... gosh... There is a moment I really doubted I was in Singapore.... :)

Kay+MC treated us a seafood lunch. It tasted great.. and yeah... we should feel guilty again... it is their Farewell trip after all... hahaha~! :)  No excuse for this... Walked around the "town" and people from main island seems to be so fascinated by the culture there........Pulau Ubin = Singapore? 

The trip ended with a boat ride back to main island + Thunder + Storm + Heavy Rain. Now it made justice to my weather forecast... :) 

Exhausted...but enjoy every single bit of it... Gosh... I am just not that into city...

My Cousin, Jensen the Violinist

Date: 8th March 2009
Venue: University Cultural Centrel, NUS

I am always a big fans of Ochestra and my love to it all started at very young age. My friend was a violionist and he played for a local Jazz Band, which is also the only "Ochestra band" we have in town. They used to perfom once a year for fund raising or any other reason that wasn't told.

When the season comes, he would carry the tickets and force us to buy. Back then, RM10 is really big... sorry.. HUGE...  I was given pocket money RM1 per day and RM10 equal to my 10 days "mee goreng + keropok ayam + jus oren". Items break down, 

Mee Goreng = RM0.50
Keropok Ayam = RM0.20
Jus Oren = RM0.30
 
Yeah, it was cheap... :) By taking away that from my daily recess period would mean I have to starve in the classroom. Pity huh?? But he never fail to put the ticket into my pocket with a return of my RM10 in his hand... I wonder why was I so stupid... haha~! Ok.. that was the 1st Ochestra i attended.

Fast forward...... My cousin, Jensen. He started off with piano.. Oh ya, he is also a good pianist. :) He plays really nice piano and he can be quite emo when his hands are on the piano keys. I always tell him that I am very proud of him and in fact, yes I do.. I love music but I can't play any single music instruments and that's something that really kick me hard. It is not that I am not given chance to take up courses but it was me being so lazy... blame no one.. :| Whenever i went to my cousin house, he would be playing piano and me? I would be building my LEGO house.. haha.. and guess that mould us into who we are...

Last weekend, he invited me to his Uni's Jazz Band perfomance. His uni is quite far from my place but to show my support, I turned out on his big day~!! I brought my camera along and only was told flash is not allowed. Gosh..... sorry couz~!!!

I have a dream...

Just went to my cousin's Jazz Band performance/presentation, he played violin tonight and I can tell that, he loves every single moment when the violin is on his hands.. :) I remembered he told me that, he wanted to be a Musician...expected.. his parent just don't see that as profession and insisted him to pursue in a "proper" profession before he can choose what he loves... This is traditional Chinese family.. that's his dream.. :)

I have a dream... :) yes.. i do have a dream...it may not be that great or neither would that be that romance... but that's my dream... 

i wanted to be a photographer...i am never a good story teller... i wish my picture would help to elaborate my inner self..

i wanted to have my own gallery.. it need not to be huge and it can be just a small corner with my works on it... i want to design my own gallery and keep it updated with my travel post...

i wanted to run a cafe... i would play my own music.. and would design my own cafe.. with my selected furniture..... and i would sit down with my customer and treasure our life whiletime ticking passed...

i wanted to design my own house.. it would be small little cosy house with lots of opening.. at night.. i would draw my curtains up and feel the breeze... and give thanks for His beautiful works...

i wanted to have my own design studio.... it would be attached to my house and it would be semi open to my little courtyard...yeah.. i love opening.. i love greens... i love outdoor...

i wanted to live free.. would travel and travel and travel... seeing new things.. meeting new friends...

i wanted to learn how to play jazz drum... i love music..but shame on me for not able to play any music instrument.. .

gosh... i just cant see myself putting a full stop on my wish list.... yeah... i have a dream... with lots of "sub-dreams" in it.. :)

House Cats....

Venue: Somewhere near Lasalle
Date: 21 February 2009

Saw these cats wondering around near the college. I kept track on one of them and he walked me to a shop cross the road. Met up with the owner of these cats and have a short chat with her. 

A friendly middle-age lady she is. She names these cats Xiao Mao Mi, Xiao Ding Dang and Xiao Hei. These cats are actually left out by their owner when they moved out from the flat which gave way to this award winning building, Lasalle.
